Still tethered to day-to-day responsibilities this week while thousands of others party for 96 hours at the CMA Music Festival? We feel your pain. But if you’re able to slip away for an evening or two, do yourself a favor and check out the fest’s star-studded concerts at LP Field (116 S. First St., 341-7627).

Nashvillians may be spoiled by frequent sightings of many of these country stars, whether on stage or at Whole Foods. But the opportunity to see so many of them perform at once in the city’s biggest venue is something only this annual hootenanny can provide.

Shows start at 8 p.m., and tickets are $38.90 or $121-$316 for four-day passes.
